head of the procession bad reached
the Pantheon the end had not yet left the
Arc de Triomphe. The procession seemed
to appreciate that France was doing honor
to the most Illuitrioaa poet. All were quiet
and all obierved a most becoming demean
or. The pressure of the packed masses of
people was frightful to contemplate, and
many of those who were “in the packs”
were seriously crushed.
AN UN PARALLELED DEMONSTRATION.
The obsequies to-day surpassed every
thing withta the memory of the oldest
citizens. 8ach a concourse of people has
rarely been witnessed in Paris. Before the
start of the procession the police seized
fifteen red flags and immediately destrey-
ed them. Preceding the hearse were 12
cars laden with floral crowns. 3esides
these 800 wreaths were carried by various
deputations. There is general rtjoiclng
because of the absence of disorder.

Pabis, June 2.—The Anarchists, in their
demonstrations ycsteiday at the funeral of
Victor Hugo, showed they are insignifi
cant. When the police seized a red flag
crowd applauded the act. It la esti
mated that fully a million people lined ♦be
streets through which moved the proces
sion escorting the remains of Victor
Hugo from the Arc de Triomphe to the
Pantheon. The police attending the
transfer were not missed until
o’clock In the evening. There was
not a priest to be seen along
the entire route of tbe procession. A pa-
piermacne statuette of Viotor Hugo
watching the orocession was p aced in
front ot the Pantheon. The enormous
crowd wis mostly composed of the work
ing and middle classes, who treat* d the
event ns a holiday. There wan not much
emotion made manifest There was an
absence of tbe feeling or smiiment which
might be fairly expected at a great funeral,
Tne general appearance ot the people yes
terd*y did not differ in a great degree
from that which may be witnessed at a
review of troops or other popular festivals.
It diJ differ in thl®, however—there
was a marked absecce of shouting or horse
play. Ths police treated with a fteliog of
ir.difler-nce the occasional display of red
flags. They quietly asked the holders to
htue them, and if the request was refused
then they snatched away the flags and
allowed th* holders to go their way with

Virginia Fishing Laws,
Lybcbburu, June 3.—After an inveatlg*
tion, the grand jury of tbs Hustings Court
has found twenty-eight indictments against
violators of the fish law. The James river,
which was well stocked with fish by the
government several years ago, was being
depopulated by illegal modes of fishing.
a.:d through tbe instrumentality of the
Lynchburg Anglers’ Association, recently
organized for the purpose, the matter
was brought before tne court. Among tbe
offenders are some of the best citizens of
this section. Several manufactories from
which dtleterlooa substances have been
thrown into tbe water will be prosecuted.
The matter creates more than local Inter
eat, aa it is to test tbe validity of th« State
law, on which there is much difference ot
opinion among the beat lawyers.

New Yobk, Junes.—The grand jury yes

ceny against Ferdinand Ward. The evi
dence on which it was found was that sub
mitted to referee Cole, to the effect that
Ward carried & bag full of securities from

collapse. The indictment when first pre
sented was handed to the recorder of tbe
Court of General Se-sions, who imtanUy
directed the chief derx to issue a bonen

ever, the district-attorney made a motion
that ihe case be transferred to the Oyer

Ravages In Kansa

Topeka, June 3.—There is now no doubt
but that the Hessian fly is doing as much
damage if not more than did the cold
weather of last winter, aud the surplus
wheat of Kansas will dwindle down to
small proportions. Fields that four weeks
ago promised halt to three-fourths of a
crop are ruined, and will be turned over

The storm at Chicago.
Cbicaot, June 3.—As far aa has been
learned, the number of persona killed by
.•►!)'n.: k' in uit n.*1.1 i -torm is four. The
name of one man killed on Blue Island
avenue has not b’fn ascertained. The
others are John Montague, Mrs. Annie
Anderson, Chsrles Wahlforth and John
lUthke. The two lait named were labor
ers employed in the lumber yard. The
tirot named was a watchman, and Mrs.
Amtenon wa* the wife of a mechanic.
While leaning over the BtOYB preparing
•upper, a boa came down the chimney,
knocking her senseless and tearing up the
floor. During the storm the wind blew a
.ai** and a loaded street car was forced to
stop on a bridge or be blown from
the track. A eudden mist wrenched
tr.e bridge from Its fastenings, whirling it
lengthwise to the stream.’ Fortunately, no
one was hurt.
Total eost 352^62 72
There had been previously expended, for
DUichase of additional land, salaries, print
ing, etc , to last October, $35 051; expended
since, in sa-aries, etc., $0 000—r aking a
grand total of cost of the new capitol, all
told, $03,013.
As the July session of the Legislature I*
near at hand, it impertinent to note that
two questions aflecting the new capitol will
again come up for consideration.
Ihe first, aud obviously of least Import
ance, i* the question of substituting Geor-
gi» marble for oolitic limestone. It h un
derstood that this matter will bs pressed
before the Legislature, and certain propo
sition* will be made by Georgia marble
comPHniesSmore advantage on* than any
heretofore made, looking to the eubstitu-
tutiou of marble.
The contractor* anticipate further con
sideration of the matter, and have an un
derstanding with the oolitic limestone peo
ple. by which If marble is substituted, even
aa late as Jnly, they may abandon the
limest3ne without material loss.
While there is lo question ibat the peo
ple of Georgia, now as heretofore, would
ne proud to seethe new capitol built of
Georgia marble, there is great doubt if the
Legislature will seriously consider the
question of substitution further. Certainly
not unlfsd the difference in cost of the two
material* be made practically nominal,
and that is an unreasonable expectation.
The necond question which ths legisla
ture will be called upon to consider is one
‘ muon greater gravity. It li the question
money for the new capitol. It is getting
be a very serious ques
tion to determine where the building
fund of tbe future is to come from.
The framers ot the bill, po*siDly anticipa
ting some opposition arising out ot the
financial feature, f provided that there
should bo no special tax levied for thl*
work, but that the new capitol should be
built out of the surplus in the treasury. It
is wsll known that up to the present the
capitol lisa been built not out of tbe sur
plus, but out of the deficit in the t-easury.
and it will continue until some other pro-
vivon i* made. The linano committee of
the last House ws* afraid to fare tins
question, anu by a shrewd and cunning
legei dim tin ot finance, jugalmt a little
wi;h tho figures, dallied a little with the
fundi! •; bill d, presto, there was an Ip
rent' aurp.us in the treasury,
could bo applied to thl
work on the new capitol. They knew
then aa they know now that there wa* no
surplus in the treasury, haa been none
since, and Is not likely to be. They simply
pot off the evil day.

require, indeed very extraordinary leger
demain on the part of tbe finance commit

by the past, they will be equal to th*
emergency. This factis, and it must be rec

bill there is no legitimate fund available
for the great work, and it cannot long be
continued out of the deficiency in the treas

special tax, which, recognizing the neces
sity, the people will cheerfully pay. the
sooner the Legislature faces the matter
fairly and bravely, the better It will be.
The finance committee Is iw ible a body
to shuttle around such an obviously fixed
fact.

ways, to the great annoyance and Injury
of the road, that people having ftcy kind
cf claim* against tho road could not g’*'

In the United States CYurt this morcirr,
Judge Speer stated that in riew of thla sit

present them to the court tor in-
VBBtfgatfon and have them speedily
adjusted, without euit or delay further
than such investigation. Major Bacon,

It Is not improbable there will bs appoint
